I never walk alone at night as a lone female, largely because I follow too much true crime and know what can happen. That said, I know plenty of women who do and I think I’m overly cautious. With this in mind, I have to put myself in Sarah’s shoes and consider what I may have done in her situation:
If I was randomly offered a lift home by a stranger (no uniform), I would have said no.
If I was told I was breaking Covid rules (whether I was or wasn’t) and to get in the car by an officer in uniform, I’d have been uncomfortable with this too.
If however I was approached by an officer in uniform who appeared to show concern, telling me that a potential sex attacker (oh the irony) was on the loose, that I shouldn’t be out alone, would I have got in to his car for a lift home? If I could be sure he was a police officer then yes. This comes from me as the overly cautious female.
I don’t think there was a struggle, that would have been too much of a risk. I think he abused his position of power.
There is still a chance that this was a flasher situation gone wrong and a last minute panic and cover up ensued, but I doubt it. I think this was the night that he switched things up, from flasher to sex attacker.
All JMO.
